Question
Open access fees are more than my monthly salary. What do people do?
The journal I want charges 2,400 USD. My institution will not cover it.

Most journals have a waiver for authors from lower income countries and almost none of them advertise it. Email the editor and ask directly. I have had two full waivers this way.

Confirming this works. Ask before you submit, not after acceptance.
